This family-run property was established in 1929 and has passed through four generations. Marius Chambeyron, who was a market gardener and from the second of these generations, planted vineyards on a number of lieux-dits including La Landonne. Today, Agnès Levet has fine-tuned the winemaking and continues to tend these superb plots in the heart of Côte Blonde and Côte Brune. 55% of the parcels were planted before 1953. One of the varieties cultivated here is Petite Serine, an ancient type of Syrah which produces lower yields and smaller, better-spaced clusters. The domain has practised massal selection (taking cuttings from old vines to propagate new vineyards) since the 1990s. The Levet's wine shop is in the centre of Ampuis, opposite the church.

Amphoralis is an authentic, distinctive expression of Côte-Rôtie, crafted from Syrah grown on the steep slopes of Ampuis in the northern Rhône Valley. The vines are planted on sharply inclined, south- and south-east-facing hillsides. Mica-schist soils underpin the wine’s pronounced minerality and layered complexity, hallmarks of the Côte Brune. After manual harvests and meticulous sorting, the grapes ferment with native yeasts in open vats. The wine is then aged in amphorae, allowing gentle oxygen exchange and a pure, unadorned expression of the terroir.
In the glass, the intense garnet hue shows purplish highlights. The nose opens with complex notes of red and black fruit, violet, pepper and hints of spice. The palate opens with a generous velvety attack, revealing fine tannins and vibrant freshness. The silky texture, carried by a notable minerality, carries through to a long, persistent finish lifted by notes of liquorice and undergrowth.
